Lessons from an Activist Intellectual provides examples of how an academician can combine the roles of teacher, researcher, and activist with a community-based critical pedagogy for democracy and empowerment. This book discusses the interconnections made between José Calderón’s pedagogy and his history as an immigrant, student, social movement leader, researcher, professor, and community organizer. At the same time, it provides examples of an interactive, intercultural, and interdisciplinary pedagogy that involves both students and community participants as both teachers and learners in social change projects. This style of pedagogy has particular salience for historically excluded individuals from diverse racial, class, gender, and sexuality backgrounds, for whom the educational experience can be either an alienating or empowering experience.
José Zapata Calderón is emeritus professor in sociology and Chican@/Latin@ Studies at Pitzer College. Over a lifetime of community-based work and study, his publications have included numerous articles, studies, and an edited book Race, Poverty, and Social Justice: Multidisciplinary Perspectives through Service Learning.
